[Intro]
Give it to mama
Give it, give it, give it to mama (Mama, oh)
Give it, give it to mama (Mama)
[Verse 1]
For some strange reason (Uh)
You're done pleasin' me like it's okay (Oh)
Like a perm that's been left too long (It starts to burn)
The result is it just won't take (Oh, I can see)
Now it's all coming so clear to me now (I can see)
Misinterpreted all my naiveness (Oh)
Was just thinking if I had no you then I can't do
My stock just went up over two million
[Pre-Chorus]
So if you want to (Uh, uh-huh, uh-uh)
You got the green light (Uh, uh-huh, uh-uh)
So if you want to (Uh, uh-huh, uh-uh)
You got the green light (Uh, uh-huh, uh-uh)
So if you want to (Uh, uh-huh, uh-uh, want to, want to)
You got the green light (Uh, uh-huh, uh-uh)
So if you want to (Uh, uh-huh, uh-uh)
You got the green light (Uh, uh-huh, uh-uh)
Give it to mama

[Verse 2]
Some see me, say I should be trophied
'Cause it gets no stronger (Oh)
Ladies, y'all know (Yeah, girl, y'all know)
This pimp -ish gets no older (Oh)
Is that a threat? (What's another threat?)
Yep (That's another threat)
I'm immune, you can't get no colder (Oh)
You got the green light (Go)
You the king, right? (Roll)
You holdin' up traffic, green means go
[Chorus]
Go, go (Go)
Go, go
Go, go (Go)

Red light, green light

From what you did from the start
My love
